Our Terrier Statue
I was reading Ollie's topic "Westie statue at lowes" below and remembered that we happen to have a Cairn/Westie statue sitting near our front door!
Evelyn and I used to attend the Great Western Terrier Association show every year held in Long Beach, California. We used to bring Katy and Penny and spent hours watching all the different Terrier breeds compete.
Shortly after we lost Katy and then Penny (aged 17 and 18 years), we attended the GWTA show in 2012 and got introduced to a Cairn breeder who competed in the show and recently had a litter of puppies. That's how we found Emmy, who we adopted at the age of 12 weeks!
It's also where we won a 14" statue of a Westie (or Cairn) in a raffle.
That statue has a permanent place near our front door:

Re: Our Terrier Statue
What a beautiful statue it is and lucky you and Evelyn were lucky to win it at the raffle.I've been to the GWTA shows in Long Beach,CA years ago in the early 2000's and show handled Maddie's Brother Herbie there.Lots of good memories tied to the events. Also attended the WHWTCA banquet there. Just like Katy and Penny our Maddie loved seeing all the terriers. It was at those shows that Maddie was very interested in some Cairn Terriers. I just knew that we were going to have a Cairn added to our family. We shortly were approved to adopt Mr. Willie from CPCRN.Enjoyed your post on how you adopted your Emmy. After the heartbreak of losing our Emily then Maddie and lastly Mr.Willie I wasn't planning on another terrier but 2 years later we adopted Grady at 11 weeks old.
